Gold Strike Hot Springs, an Amazing Local Secret Near Las Vegas
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 окт 2021
- Since we’re only about 3 or 4 hours away from Las Vegas, we usually go there at least twice a year. Little did we know, this gem of a hike called Gold Strike Hot Springs is only about 30 minutes away from Vegas. Gold Strike Hot Springs is on our top 10 favorite hikes so far. It’s a combination of hiking, fun obstacle courses, beautiful scenery, gorgeous hot springs, and unique wildlife. And if you go all the way down, you can also see the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, towering over the Colorado River, just below Hoover Dam. I mean, what else can you ask for?

I love your videos - there's so much great content and I love how you highlight the technical aspects of the hike. Going to try this trail in the next few weeks!
I think you'd also love
Cathedral Rock (the whole trail is under snow right now but doable in microspikes - I think it'd be a lot easier once the snow has melted
Red Rock - Guardian Angel Pass
Red Rock - Turtlehead Peak
Happy hiking!
Thank you so much! Best of luck at gold strike, you're going to have a lot of fun! We will check out all of your recommendations. The two red rocks ones were already on our watchlist but now we will check out Cathedral Rock too! 😁🤙
Snowflakes are now apparently common in NV. I carried my laundry in a backpack to wash at Goldstrike back in 2007... with only 2 ropes.
This canyon has changed so much from flash flooding over the years. Growing up in Vegas in the '60's-'70's we used to hike to all the hot springs and this one used to be much easier and hardly anyone knew it was there. No parking lot, no signs, no ropes.
Wow that's awesome. We're the drop offs there same size? That would be pretty challenging with no ropes.
@@ThatAdventureLife I don't remember any big drop offs-just a lot of boulder hopping. no ropes for sure.
yep...big changes. I went years ago and had a few ropes. Went back about 3 years ago and it was so different, and so much tougher.
Doing this hike first thing tomorrow morning 😆 Really enjoyed this video, was informative n funny!
Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great time and feel free to let us know how it went!
Made this hike in 2019. I see some of the ropes have been upgraded. I mostly enjoyed wading in the river. Thanks for sharing.........
Such a fun hike! Glad you got to check it out! That river water is refreshing, but man is it cold at the same time! 🤣
Such a cool hike!
Nevada is possibly the most underrated state.. everyone thinks it's just all desert..when in fact it's quite diverse..and 63 per cent basically unspoiled BLM land..
We agree! It is amazing to see all of the treasures that you can find if you explore just a little. In my 20's Nevada was just Las Vegas, but now it is a whole lot more! :)
Love my Nevada.
Very nice video thanks for all the information and tips
So glad you enjoyed it! We just posted it hike to Arizona Hot Springs too which is on the opposite side of the river. Another great hike. 😎👍
Thank you for this! Your voice is a perfect narration voice
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the nice compliment!
You're a boss for putting this together. Definitely hitting this hike on my next trip to vegas! Cheers
Thanks man! It is a super fun hike as long as you go during mild temperatures. We are going to be back in the area in a couple weeks so stay tuned for some more good stuff 😎👍
I'm planning to do this trail for sure when I'm in the area. Thanks for heads up. 👍🙂
Awesome! Have fun and be safe!
Cool video, well done thanks for sharing...
Thank you Ray! We are going to be back out there soon. It will be interesting to see if anything has changed.
Did this hike mid-December last year.
LOVED it.
The springs were not super hot, only warm.
While more difficult than a walk in the park (or down a trail), I think most people in decent shape should be able to do it.
48yrs young
Great coverage of the trail!
Thank you so much! So glad that you enjoyed the video and that you got to experience it for yourself! 😁👍
We are planning our cross country! Great information about this hike!
That sounds awesome! Have fun and be safe!
Thank you for all the details
You are welcome! Have a great time when you go! 😎🤙
I love this hike. If you go up the Colorado a little bit there is a little hot cave. I haven't been there for 15 years or so. First time I went was in the mid 90s. There was maybe enough parking for a half dozen cars but that was plenty. One time coming back up the canyon there was a couple in one of the pools and you could tell they were lacking clothing so we tried to give them some privacy by trying to go wide of the pool but we just ended up high on the side of the canyon with a birds eye view of the action.
We do too! I have heard of the cave, but we have never been there. Thats a funny story about the nudists. I guess if you are gonna go "sunning" at a hot springs, you have to expect someone to walk by. :D
Great hike! I had no idea, and to be able to hike all the way to the CO river is really awesome! Thank you!
It is such a fun hike! Stay tuned! We also hiked out to Arizona hot springs on the other side of the river. Hopefully we will have that video out soon!
We are definitely hiking here. Great video guys
Thank you so much! Hopefully you can get this one in before they close it for the summer. We were there about 3 weeks ago and it was already getting a tiny bit warm. Have a great hike!
Great job and thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Dropped of the Japanese exchange student at the top of the trailhead. Met he at the river with my boat. Only way to hike it.
That would be so cool to have a boat to pick you up!
Thanks for posting this video, this spot now has a lot of trash and graffiti, it’s also been officially closed. Thanks for your contribution to our local trails.
It's actually closed because it is too hot and you would die. Have a good one 🤙
Nice !!
Thank you for sharing 🥾🥾
So glad that you enjoyed it! It's such a fun hike! :)
Well done on this!
Thank you! 😁🤙
Wow! Gorgeous hike! Definitely one to not take the dog on. Thanks for mentioning that - important to good pet parents. I think I would be stopping at rope #3 - and would never want to leave that hot spring - ha ha!
Haha it is really pretty if you can make it the whole way! But yeah, I don't blame you. That hot spring after rope 3 is beautiful!
Thank you this is so helpful!
Glad that we could help! :) Have fun!
Did this yesterday. Got a rope burn on the second rope so gloves are helpful. We started around 3 and by the time we got back to the car around 7, it was dark out. Def a fun and challenging hike!
Oh no! Yea those ropes are no joke. Glad it sounds like you had a fun and safe hike other than that! It must have been interesting finishing it in the dark.
I'm so glad you made this video...cause nope I'm good 😂
It's all good! We just did this hike again last weekend and it's a tough one. Definitely not for everyone.
Did this hike last weekend. I was so fun. we will be back and plan to say all day next time. we started at 8:30 and finished around 2pm the springs were a lot lower than on your video and actually you could see where the first one was but it was almost dry.
Woow! that's crazy. Hopefully, they'll fill back up. It would be a bummer if they are all dry out.
The 8:30-2pm is one way or to complete ?
I can't wait to move to las vegas and go on a hike! Never been on one before.
Have fun man! If you have never been hiking you might want to look into a local hiking group to go with. You can probably make a lot of new local friends that way too! 😁
@@ThatAdventureLife Thank you so much for that info! I definitely will!
Thank you the whole video is incredibly helpful. Deciding whether we can do it with four experienced boulderers and nervous 10 year-old who loves the outdoors and waterfalls.
So glad that we could help! If you have that many strong climbers in your group I bet you could get the 10 year old through it without a lot of problems 😎 have fun!
very helpful video, great work!
Thank you so much! Hopefully you can get out there after the heat mellows out. :)
@@ThatAdventureLife I'm local so I have the time ha ha
@@sgtmorhew That definitely helps! We have a video coming up about Arizona hot springs as well! :)
I had the rope on #8 break on a group ahead and combined with the water it was a tough one getting back up I almost fell
Oh shoot! That's scary! That's the hard thing about having ropes out in really harsh conditions. Glad ya made it out!
nice channel!!
Thank you so much!
Rope #9 broke on my way up with a group ahead of me. The water made it extra sketchy
Oh no! Did you fall very far? That's the only sketchy thing about the hike. We don't like putting a ton of faith in ropes that we aren't fimiliar with.
I think you can get here by kayak/canoe as well. And I would just wear water shoes the entire hike personally. Thanks for the detailed video!
Yes you can get there that way as well. A buck of purple did that last time we went. The reason we didn't stay in our water shoes is that the wash had really coarse sand in it. If that got in tight watershoes it would make for a pretty miserable hike out. Plus you need Lot of traction for the climbs 😁👍
In the mid 70s there was a old smashed trans am where the parking lot was and one metal cable 1/2 way down that was it great place to get stoned only one or two people ever there party all night then go back early in morning - the good news or days😂
Did this trail solo again and I had no problems
That's awesome! 😎👍
Fantastic video! I've been wanting to do this hike, so thank you for the informative guide - this was awesome. How long did it take to get to the river?
Thank you Aly! We are glad that you enjoyed it! It probably took us about 2 hours. We hike pretty slow though.
Las Vegas is America's playground.
Indeed it is! We are just working on finding different ways to play with it 😎
Thanks for showing the full trail. How long did it take for you guys to go all the way down? Thanks
Glad that we could help! It took us about 2 hours 11 minutes. We are the slower side of hikers because we stop to take pictures and videos a lot.
Harder hiking back than going there.
Some climbing skills definitely come in handy!
Whoever put the arrows on the rocks should be disemboweled! LNT!!!
Totally agree!
Hi there, i watched this video going into the canyon, but was wondering if you have the video how to maneuver the climb out? Want to see how it's done
Thanks!
Hello. We showed some of the way out in the video, but please note, it is always changing. Some ropes may not be there. Do you have any climbing experience?
Been to that hot springs a few times. Not sure the one in video is same one since we only had 1 spot that needed a rope to get to it. Was only rope needed to get to the hot springs.
I'm wondering if you went to Arizona Hot Springs which is on the other side of the river. Either that or they have just added ropes over the years. :)
I had a wild night at these hot springs long ago. We didn’t know wed end up there and a friend wore platform flip flops. She was having an anxiety attack so i had to give her my Adidas shell toes. This was after someone stole my pants i laid on a Boulder before getting in the springs. So angry. Some nice guy gave me a spare pair of shorts to hike back up. So there i was- it was sunrise now- we were down there all night wearing a tank top, mens super baggy shorts and platform flip flops.
I remember seeing airplane debris walking back up? Did i imagine this or getting it mixed up w another adventure?
Wow! Quite the night at the springs! Glad ya made it out safely. I didn't see any airplane wreckage but there are some crashed cars down there.
@@ThatAdventureLife you know what maybe it was a car! I think i am mixing up the plane near Nelsons Landing. Absolutely was an extremely dangerous situation and i think about it as an adult/ fully functioning brain and we were LUCKY nothing went majorly wrong. The one flashlight got dropped back walking down the large boulder like at least a ten foot drop and we were in the dark the rest of the way down. There were plenty of ppl already there when we arrived camping and partying but walking back up … felt like my life was flashing before my eyes.
Will tell you from experience, don't do it in hot temps. If u partake in a hot springs soak you will be a bit dehydrated on the trek back out. In hot temps this gets exponentially hotter on the way out. Have plenty of water And Salt. Why a couple died on the way out with water. I know hikers who have been carried out do to heat exhaustion. Its a fun hike if you've had a few hikes under your belt. It can b3 too much for first or casual hikers. Also one last surprise to watch for is th3 naked guy who hangs out collecting trash. Wha.... 🤣
Wow, that sounds brutal! I can't even imagine doing this one in the heat We usually switch over to water activities once the weather starts warming up. We would probably think we were hallucinating of we saw some random naked guy walking around 🤣
@@ThatAdventureLife , the naked guy is probably the most sensible of everyone. Your body regulates its own temperature far easier than with having man-made clothing restricting it. You Americans are so weird about nakedness. Here in New Zealand it's just so normal and unremarkable! Why you're all so ashamed about a human body is something we don't understand!
@@haurakinaturally3831 we don't personally have any problem with it, but some people do. That's the only reason that we mentioned it.
2023 년 6 월 현재 입구 막혀있어요. 참고하시길 ~
Closed now ( June, 2023)
Don’t know when will be open ~
It closes during the summer because it would be really dangerous to do this hike in the heat.
Is this hike 5 miles total?
Yes it is! 5.1 to be exact
Also, my hike down was back in 2005. There were not nearly that many ropes but there were the arrows thank God. Hiked down at 1 am. Do not recommend.
Gee, this place used to be remote - and now it is a lot busier. Do you suppose that posting it on the internet might add to that? Duh.
There's always been plenty of space when we went. We also don't want anyone trying to get there to be blindly wandering in the desert.
No way am I going to put my favorite hikes and explorations on the internet. Think about it.
I guess I don't have to say that this area is not handicapped assessable. Handicapped Americans pay their fair share of taxes and serve their country, but don't get to enjoy a large part of it.
Unfortunately with all of the sand and boulders this could definitely be limiting to people with mobility issues. You know what would be really cool? Have you ever thought about starting a channel based on ADA friendly adventures? That could be really cool!
Warning: These warm water pools often harbor those dangerous brain eating Amoebas.
You are correct. We mentioned it in the video
Very nice video but not for me.... to challenging.....scary....
This one is definitely a lil challenging! Glad you at least got to experience it in a video 😎👍
No nudity??
The springs are clothing optional
He talks too much.
Shhhh don't interrupt me.. I'm still talking 😂😂😂
